Eibach Sportline Spring Kit

[AlexBurns1]

Im looking to lower my car, to get rid of the quite high gap with the standard springs. Are

Eibach Sportline Spring Kit from k-tec any good? ive got 182 wheels on my car and want to get them to the wheel arch without scraping or rubbing. could anyone give me some information on this?
And also my insurance compnay want £300 is it worth it since im not slamming the car right down, will they notice?
Thanks​

Its a fantastic kit mate ive got the sportline pros which dont drop as much as the sportlines as theres 2 diffrent sets you can get the pros drop 25mm front and back u cant even notice the height diffrence so the insurance wont even notice but the others drop 50mm F & B i hope this helps ya pal

I have the proline kit on my cup as well, good bit of kit. however 300 for your insurance is a bit steep for springs?

 

[AlexBurns1]

yeah i might look into them then, and yes £300 i dont understand it? its not like it makes your car go faster if anything you drive slower?

I hardly noticed a drop on mine when i fitted sportlines, maybe just a subtle one. If you're looking for lowz look at other springs/coilovers, if you want handling these are the ones for you. Just remember if you don't tell the insurance and happen to crash, they'll do more than look at it and think meehhhh it's probably standard...

Paint then black, fit them, forget about it.

For the mediocre drop they give insurance will not notice.

The pro kit springs are black anyway the other ones are red!

 

[AlexBurns1]

well my gap on the arch is around 55mm to wheel atm, i really dont want to pay £300 or slam the car right now, the pro only does about 30 right? and the sportline about 50?

The sportlines wont lower the car that much mate and im pretty sure the pro's hardly drop the car atall. I run the cooksport springs on mine and i find the ride and stance spot on.

Same as above, no one has noticed that my car is lowered. Actually I know it sounds bad but I didnt notice till I got the car home! So if your only intrested in lowering the car then athough Prolines are good springs but they are a bit pointless for that.

The cooksports look good, however I think they only do 172/182 spings?

 

[imprezaworks]

Not sure mate. Didnt spot he had a 1.2 tbh. Best giving 'cooksport' a ring.

25mm max they will drop!

Plus do not do the below \/

Paint then black, fit them, forget about it.

Ive heard very good things on the cooksport springs and there a fair bit cheaper than the eibach's aswell!!

 

[AlexBurns1]
